It can be a mild annoyance when you must pick up your fiancee from work, but have an hour to kill inbetween when you get off work to when they do. This would be the situation I was in.
Hence... what does Kabuthunk do at times like this? He takes his geocaching bag to work  .
Let's just say it was a looooong day. Was anxious to get outta that place and see what I can find in under an hour. Since my fiancee works sorta vaguely close to Inkster and McPhillips, I looked around for nearby caches. One of them (started with Fife... not sure of the exact name) looked tempting, but a quick check of my palm pilot showed the last person DNF'd it, and while driving by it appeared to be a field of deep snow with trees. Unsure as to whether or not I'd be able to pull it off in the time alotted, I moved on.
I'm quite glad a lot of people use the "winter-friendly" cache attribute, such as with this one  . I know that there's at least a vague chance that I can find it without tunneling under 5 feet of snow . And hey... it had "Grizzly" in the name. Grizzly's are cool.
Unfortunately, when driving up to the cache, I started looking for a statue of a bear or something. I had no clue what to look for, give me a break .
Anyhoo... Coming up to the cache site, I realized that I'm in my shoes. Didn't really feel like putting on yonder safeway-brand instant winter boots, and the snow looked solid enough to walk to.
Note: It wasn't .
Looked around the outsides of things there, not finding a thing. Then I remembered back to previous logs. Yay for me being somewhat vaguely close to being considered tall (aka: maybe about 1 inch higher than average ). Looking around, I see what can only be the cache. Reeeeaaaaching forwards, I...
tap
Oh, I did NOT just accidentally tap it into the furthest, deepest, hardest to reach possible spot by accident.
sigh
A little it of scrambling later, and the cache was now in my hands. Went back to the car and signed it, dropping in the recently acquired at the MBGA pub nite "A partridge in a pear tree" geocoin, and a chainmail ball. On the way out, stopped beside the cache site and put the container back in place. Ahh... another day, another cache .
Took: Nothing
Left: Logbook entry, A partridge in a pear tree geocoin, and chainmail ball
